Photographer's Note

After having spent few hours discovering the outback of Las Terrenas, we usually came to the beach to rest a little bit and after sunset, we just had to get dressed for a light diner in one of the Comedor downtown.

After that, it was time to choose the right place where we could dance the local dance : Merengue. A dominican speciality, somewhere between the Cuban music and the Carabean zouk.

I cropped out the lower part of the picture, adjusted the gama balanced and applied Unsharp mask.

Really lovely shot Steven, the huge sweeping tree line, the wonderful reflection in the wet sand, the movement of the water and those light fluffy clouds are to die for.
The blown highlights are a touch overpowering and tend shout where the rest of the shot whispers.

What a beautifully clear sunset. It really sets the trees on fire here with brilliant flaming white and the smokiness of the clouds. Very nice balance between sky and earth, both in colour & texture, stitched together by the silouhetted line of trees. Very pleasing.
